"Radiolab’s “G” is a multi-episode exploration of one of the most dangerous ideas of the past century: the concept of intelligence. Over six episodes, the series unearths the fraught history (and present-day use) of IQ tests, digs into the bizarre tale of one man’s obsessive quest to find the secret to genius in Einstein’s brain, reveals the ways the dark history of eugenics have crept up into the present, looks to the future with a controversial geneticist who has created a prenatal test for intelligence, and stages a raucous game-show throwdown to crown the smartest animal in the world."
Start here:Radiolab's senior editor takes on the concept of "dangerous ideas," why they percolate in our society - and why the worst ideas sometimes take root and are embraced as fact. This series is based on one of those "dangerous ideas" surrounding giftedness. I'm not going to spoil it for you, so please listen in. I'll post the remaining episodes in this series as I listen to them because they are UNBELIEVABLY-EXCELLENT-AS-ALWAYS, THANK YOU RADIOLAB.
